So, how do you make this super easy vegan mac and cheese without nutritional yeast?
Simple.
ALL YOU DO IS…
- Cook up some pasta (elbows or shells seem to be a favorite in my home)
- Add in some vegan cheese and stir until all the ‘cheese’ is melted and combined well with the pasta
Seriously, that is it!
It’s really that simple!
The only ‘trick’ to it is giving plenty of time to allow the ‘cheese’ to melt.
Different vegan ‘cheeses’ melt differently, so you may need to experiment with this part a little bit.
We personally use Aldi brand vegan cheese and it does take a little time and a lot of stirring for it to melt, but it tastes amazing, and it usually a dollar (or more) cheaper when compared to other brands.
With the price of food right now, spending a dollar or so less on any item, in my opinion, is totally worth it, especially when it has the same or similar quality.
Why you’ll love this lazy vegan mac & ‘cheese’…
Well, you already know it’s easy and you can make it in just about 15 minutes.
But it’s also one that your kids will start asking you for.
It easily replaces non-vegan mac & ‘cheese’ and could easily be the base to a ‘fancier’ baked mac & ‘cheese’ recipe.
It’s literally 2 ingredients, plus water to boil the pasta, and maybe some vegan butter (but that’s optional). This means it’s cheaper to make, especially if you tend to clear out your fridge and cupboards (by eating all the food) before getting groceries again. (Box of pasta ~$1, Aldi vegan ‘cheese’ ~$3.29.)
The only downside is that you might not have leftovers!
But seriously, who would have thought making a vegan dinner that kids love could be this easy and delicious?!
